Our Village

The Church and Old Village (Stephen Elliott)

The village of Hathersage enjoys an enviable position in the Hope Valley in the heart of the Peak District National Park, set close to the River Derwent with the rugged backdrop of Stanage Edge to the north.

The village of today has a population of 2,000 people with three churches, a village school, pubs, cafes, and a wealth of amenities, not least the open air heated swimming pool, open for over 6 months of the year. This is a vibrant community with many groups and organisations in its midst, serving a wide range of interests from sport to horticulture and history. The proud traditions of Well Dressing and Gala still take place each year in July, and all year round visitors come here for the wonderful walking and climbing nearby.
